And so it is that thy Sustainer would never destroy a community for its wrongdoing so long as its people are still unaware [of the meaning of right and wrong]:

(The apostles were sent) thus, for thy Lord would not destroy for their wrong-doing men's habitations whilst their occupants were unwarned.

This is because thy Lord destroyeth not the townships arbitrarily while their people are unconscious (of the wrong they do).

This is because thy Lord would not destroy towns unjustly while their people are negligent.

That is because your Lord would not destroy the cities for wrongdoing while their people were unaware.
